The ventral surface (fig. 21; PI. II, q) is shghtly concave from side to side. The segmental markings are still to be seen, but are not at all prominent. The notched lateral mar- gins extend upon the side walls of the cell. The subcuticular fluid so noticeable in some of the earlier stages has disappeared through evaporation. The effect of drying is' very noticeable, causing a marked wrinkling of the surface. Posterior third.—The posterior third (PI. II, q) may or may not be darker than the middle third, but it is not darker than the anterior Fig. 21.—Fourth stage: Eemains of .larva dead of sacbrood, ventral view. (Original.).
